Space launch sites are specialized locations where rockets and spacecraft are launched into space. These sites are equipped with the necessary infrastructure, such as launch pads, control centers, and fueling stations. They are often situated near the equator to take advantage of the Earth's rotation, which helps rockets gain additional speed. Some well-known space launch sites include Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana. Each site is chosen for its geographic advantages, safety considerations, and proximity to the desired orbit for the spacecraft being launched.
